Not really, since Anakin loses that fight.

Fortunately, everything points to it not being Fett...

Say it with me: NO FETT IN '05!!

Which would make the whole Ani V Dooku OR Windu, redundent. By now, everyone knows how heroic Skywalker is, and it'll be reinforced by the risky rescue at the start of ROTS.

Him striking down Dooku to be a hero again or to strike down Windu either before or after the fight with Obi just to show that he's fallen will just drag out the plot line. IMO, you can wrap up other character subplots using the death of those two characters. Hell, you can further the whole theme of the Republic sliding towards the Empire by showing Clonetrooper/Stormtroopers killing Windu.

As niffty as the Fett family is, their little plot line is at an end, IMO. Everything is more or less wrapped up with them. Anything else doesn't make much sense.

Note the IF, Spanky. Should I have italicized it as well?

Well, revenge on Windu would be about the only thing left that would make sense, but it looks like its not going to happen. (A good thing, as it wouldn't make sense for a kid to take out one of the most powerful Jedi Masters in the Order, though I'd think Boba would be a tad older than 12...)

I think Boba will kill him. Possibly disintegrating him. Thus getting the "No disintegrations" line in ESB.

Fap fap fap fap. It just doesn't make sense to have a kid take out the Jedi Master. If anything, Boba bounty hunting Han and fighting Luke in ESB and RotJ wraps up Boba's revenge.

He's going after the last Jedi, the hated Order that killed his dad, and durring his revenge, gets killed by the Jedi (more percisley by the Jedi's friends) more or less like his dad.

I still say Fett's story will be made better by denying him revenge over the man who killed his father. Besides, think of all the EU fodder ROTS will leave hanging out there...

I'm hardly Fett-wanking here, as you'd realize if you paid attention.

DID I OR DID I NOT SAY THAT IN THE VERY PART OF MY POST THAT YOU QUOTED?!?

How does that settle his score with Windu? Han had nothing at all to do with that, and even if he did consider fighting Jedi to settle part of the score, all he did was take a couple of potshots at Luke in ESB.

Wouldn't Fett be aware of the huge bounty on Luke's head? After all, he did participate in the ruse on Cloud City to lure him into the carbon freezer, not to mention all the crap that went on in Shadows of the Empire.

Killing Luke may not sit well with Lord Vader...

Jar-Jar Binks. Why? Because Samual L Jackson asked for a memorable death, and no one would ever be able to forget that travesty.
Devolution is quite as natural as evolution, and may be just as pleasing, or even a good deal more pleasing, to God. If the average man is made in God's image, then a man such as Beethoven or Aristotle is plainly superior to God, and so God may be jealous of him, and eager to see his superiority perish with his bodily frame.

According to Just the Facts over at TFN, while Boba Fett does appear in Episode III (and they do confirm his age at only 12-13: he's normally aging clone, after all), they have said that his role in the film isn't very big. Having Fett kill Mace would be considered a big role, so I don't see that happening.

Additionally, JTF also states that Mace will go down with others, but lasting the longest. Another reason why I don't see Fett doing him in...

Some random stormtrooper/clonetrooper. I'd prefer if Mace Windu died in the most pathetic and ignoble way possible, to fulfill my view of him as being the most inept Jedi ever depicted in the canon films. Mr Badass indeed...

It would be nice that the clonetroopers turn on him at the orders of Palpatine or someone, but really it makes no difference in my eyes who kills him. So long as he dies, I'll be happy.

I feel much the same way about Kit Fisto and his shit-eating grin. Smug bastard...

Yeah, Fisto is annoying, but I think Samuel Jackson was simply miscast as Windu. I'd have preferred someone older like Morgan Freeman to play the part. That man can portray wise and serene with the best of them.

And that Conehead guy...

In fact, the only 'background Jedi' I DON'T want to see die is that blue Twi'lek chick. Maybe she escaped and became Leia's guardian the same way Ben became Luke's guardian? Only she was on Alderaan when the DS showed up... (ok, that was a bit of idle speculation :P)

Hear, hear! Aayla Secura with her bare midriff and cleavage is the only Jedi I like. :)

No such luck for Aayla. Lucas recently said that ALL the Jedi, minus Yoda and Obi-Wan, are slaughtered in the Purge. Afterwards there are none left.

No fair. I always thought some managed to 'slip the net' and go to ground. The galaxy is a big place after all. Maybe GL is just yanking our chains?

At the very least, I think Obi-Wan should get to tap that before she checks out. The man never gets any poon! :(

My mistake, it's not actually credited to Lucas, but the information is interesting to say the least, because there's more than just that.

Here's the whole thing:
The moment Darth Vader wakes up from his slumber, and Anakin Skywalker truly is no more, the force will cease to exist in the land of the living. No more force sensitive children will be born... And all that will remain are those that had the gift before the dark times came, and managed to survive the first waves of the purge.

The last two force sensitive beings to come to existance, will be Luke and Leia, born mere seconds before their father's death... And the only survivors of the actual Jedi purge, that will go on for a great many years after the events of ROTS, are, as we all know, Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

The four of them survive, not to save the galaxy, but to save the man that will.
